Being single can be a drag sometimes. We all want someone to cuddle and talk to, but more than often that's not the case. It's not all bad. Having time to find yourself is a good thing, especially in college. The summer right after high school graduation is vital because that's when we set up our expectations and sort of plan our lives accordingly. The summer following your freshman year of college you realize that those expectations were a little out of focus. For most people, this is the first time they've been free (whatever that means) and they just want to have a good time. There's nothing wrong with that at all. It's really a great feeling, so I've compiled my top six reasons why I'm alone and I'm perfectly fine with it.

1. He's still a child

You're an adult now, so you don't have time for those childish games.

2. You'll have more food

They say that a way to a mans heart is food, but food is a girls first love. Who needs someone always taking the last left over tacos? Not me. Food will be bae forever.

3. You're still young

You have forever to be stressed over someone who takes themselves too seriously. This is your time, girl! Live it up.

4. Grades before babes

It doesn't matter how hot he is, you GPA will always look better. And to be honest, it's probably the most long-term of the two.

5. Senioritis

Senioritis is the worst, but it gets even worse when you have a boyfriend constantly wanting your attention. Trust me, he can wait.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
